Chapter 16 Qingliang Temple
Qingliang Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, the scale is not small, covers an area of about 30 acres, presents a regular rectangular structure, the core area is composed of a thousand Buddha halls, Guanyin Palace, Arhat Palace, Tianwang Palace, Daxiong Treasure Hall and other buildings, on both sides by the squatter room where the monks live, the dining hall for eating fasting and so on.
Because it is located in the deep mountains, it is rarely affected by the disaster of war, most of the main buildings are inherited from the Ming Dynasty, the eaves and arches, antique, is an excellent model for studying the architecture of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that after the baptism of wind and rain, it is inevitable that it needs to be repaired and strengthened from time to time.
Three years ago, it is said that a wealthy businessman who was appointed by the monks of the temple and soared to the temple came to the temple to make a vow, and donated 10 million yuan on the spot for the repair of the temple, and the temple is now completely new after repair.
Because this rich merchant is more famous, so this matter spread, Qingliang Temple was famous for a while, and there was an endless stream of worshippers, and finally became the most prosperous temple in this area.
Wang Xiuqin also asked Su Xiao and Gu Yun to come over to worship the Buddha because of this story.
With the Qingliang Temple became famous, there is also the monk who once ordered a wealthy merchant.
This high monk is Gu Yun's old friend Master Deshan in his dream.
The four of them entered the Qingliang Temple.
At this time, it is more than ten o'clock, the pilgrims who come to worship are endless, the temple is full of incense clouds, many monks wearing brown robes shuttle between the halls, they do not take the initiative to chat with the pilgrims, but when the pilgrims ask them, they will not explain in detail.
Gu Yun listened a little, and saw that these monks, whether they were old or young, had a certain level of understanding of Buddhist philosophy, and knew that just like in the dream, Deshan, as the abbot, managed Qingliang Temple in an orderly manner.
Su Xiao took Gu Yun from the Thousand Buddha Hall, the Arhat Palace, the Guanyin Palace, the Tianwang Palace, and then to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, one Buddha hall after another.
Su Xiao is more believing in Buddhism, which should be influenced by Wang Xiuqin, Wang Xiuqin invited the statue of Guanyin to the family, and will buy fruits to worship on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, which is more popular in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
When he arrived at the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Su Xiao gave Gu Yun three sticks of high incense according to Wang Xiuqin's instructions, and took three of them himself, and after lighting them, he pious and bowed to the south, south, west, and northwest, and there were words in his mouth, probably praying, and finally put the high incense on the incense burner.
Gu Yun also did the same.
Gu Yun believes in science, but he is by no means an atheist, at least he believes that there may be some supernatural force in this world, and arbitrarily denying it is precisely the manifestation of unscience.
Proof?
As soon as he lived in a dream for hundreds of thousands of years, the old goblin itself was proof.
You can't let a crab walk sideways believe that only by walking straight can the light of the righteous path shine on the earth?
After the major halls were finished, Su Xiao and Gu Yun went to the side halls to take a stroll.
In one of the side halls, Su Xiao saw a sign holder in front of a Buddha statue, and said to Gu Yun on a whim, "Let's go ask for a sign and see how it goes?" ”
"Asking for a signature?" Gu Yun smiled, "What are you asking for, asking for marriage?" Ask me about this, and I'll show you the way. ”
"Phew!" Su Xiao raised his leg and made a gesture to kick Gu Yun, "Of course it's about study!" I ask if you can be admitted to Binhai Jiaotong University, and you ask if you can be admitted to Binhai Polytechnic University. ”
"I didn't say I was going to take the Binhai Institute of Technology." Gu Yun reminded.
"Then Binhai Institute of Technology."
Binhai Institute of Technology is also very close to Binhai Jiaotong University.
"Not necessarily." Gu Yun said again.
Su Xiao glared at Gu Yun, "Then where else do you want to take the test?" I'm telling you, if it's too far...... There's no one to take care of you. ”
After saying this, Su Xiao felt as if something was wrong, and hurriedly made a look that it was none of his business, and added, "Anyway, if it's too far, don't regret it." ”
Gu Yun looked at Su Xiao, who didn't know where to stop, and after thinking about it, he still dispelled the idea of telling the truth.
I don't know why, since Su Xiao said to him that day, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you", the more he looks at it recently, the more he feels that Su Xiao is very similar to her.
I couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought in my heart, if Su Xiao was her, then what would I do?
There is no answer, but it is certain that whatever you do is hypocritical, and the purpose is nothing more than to make your heart feel better.
Stopping this unrealistic assumption, he said to Su Xiao, "Okay, then you go and ask for a signature, and I'll find someone." ”
"Looking for whom?"
"Master Deshan."
"Poof!" Su Xiao smiled, "Wake up, hey." Now there are more people looking for Master Deshan, and he has been closed since half a year ago. It is said that the last time a big leader in the city went to see him, they were all closed, and he met you a high school student? ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Gu Yun said seriously.
"Then ask for a sign and go again, I'll go with you." Su Xiao smiled again, "I'll see how you eat behind closed doors." ”
Gu Yun sighed helplessly, "Okay, then let's go in and test it." ”
"That's pretty much it."
